RE: [hobbit] Server up, network down.

If you could ping a router address, you could make it a dependency and
then the remote hosts would have shown as "unknown" if they were not
reachable while the router was not reachable.  I think this is called
the "router" tag in bb-hosts.  It works well unless your path is long.

Subject: [hobbit] Server up, network down.

Hi all

I don't think this is possible, but I guess I should ask anyway.

We have servers at a remote site.
The network between us and the site went down, and it took the local
telecomms 3 days to fix it.
As far as the users were concerned there was no problem. (All the users
are at the remote site) The server was up and available locally. 
However, from Hobbit's position on the network, the server was down, and
it shows up on the SLA reports.

Is there a way, besides having another Hobbit server at the remote site,
to somehow show the server as up?

Regards
    Vernon
